• Complete GMechanism Makeover!

The new GMechanism API comes with avatars! Upload your avatar from the main GMech application, and view it on BBD! Also, you can now open your buddy list as well, and add/delete friends, as well as private chat with them! They don’t even have to be playing Ballland Battles Deluxe to chat with them, as ANY GMech-Enabled game that has the buddy list feature can chat as well!

Take a look!

• ANNOUNCEMENTS Feature!

This useful feature adds an announcements marquee on the top part of the screen, and will show any announcements that I make! I used to do this when an update was out, and the announcement was on the update page, but not anymore!

• NEW ITEM: Freeze Boom

This item will move a bit different than a normal boom. It picks up the pace as it slides across the field, impacting foes with a heavy explosion, freezing the victim and blasting them across the stage!

• STAGE EDITOR!

Ballland Battles Deluxe v. 4.0.0.0 will feature a stage editor, for players to create THEIR OWN BBD STAGES, and play them!

Current Features on the BBDSE:

• Ability to Change Backgrounds (Available Backgrounds are City, City Altered, Sunset, Stars, Dark/Black, TechyTech Green, Blue, Yellow and Red, BLBT- Techy Tech, BLBT- Basic, Dreamy Skies, Night Skies, and almost everything else!)

• A 16x16 grid, and the ability to switch on and off the grid.

• Creating a stage of any size, from the size of basic, to many times larger than BLBT- Empty Space!

• Scrolling around the stage.

• Uses the same methods to create stages as I do myself!

• Uses the invisible solid objects for walls and hurting hazards such as spikes.

• Ability to add lasers, movers and character start points, as well as item balls and coins.

• Ability to add tiles directly from both of BBD’s tilesets! The tileset includes everything from basic blocks to tubes, spikes, neon, and much more from a collection of about 1,500 tiles! (Don’t forget to cover the tiles with the invisible objects!)

• Delta Timed.

• Objects animate just as they would on the battlefield.

• The editor views the level JUST as it would look in battle.

OTHER UPDATES:

• General Bug Fixes

• More optimization

• Font changes and graphic tidy-ups.

• More Loading Screen quotes, and Player List statuses.

• When someone uses the meteor, a trail of smoke emits from them for a bit.

• More glittery effects for invincibility!

• Link to THIS forum from the game’s main menu!

• Better cooperation with windowed mode.

• Included README.

• SERVER UPDATE: Player List deletes players that were inactive for 7 days to save memory. There was a bug where the Player List didn’t return all the players because there were too much. This will help chop it down. Also, I removed most of the players with the name “Player——-.”
